Raegan thought this domineering man was going to threaten her again, and her delicate eyebrows furrowed.

Mitchel noticed her frown and quickly changed the topic. “I don't care even if I become your lover. That way, I'm Janey's stepfather."

"What?" Regan's went wide and she even convinced herself she had misheard him.

Mitchel was too embarrassed to repeat those words. He just blurted out what was on his mind the moment he saw her frown, not wanting to see Raegan mad at him.

He pretended to clear his throat and huffed, “Never mind. If you didn't hear it, then you can forget it."

But how could Raegan forget it? She heard him very clearly. She mulled his words over and burst out laughing so hard she started coughing.

Mitchel's face turned ugly, but he still reached out to pat her back.

“What's so funny?"

"You want to be my Lover? Janey's stepfather?" Raegan ignored his unpleasant expression and mercilessly mocked him.

Their conversation was disrupted by the door being slammed open.

At this time, Matteo entered Mitchel's ward. He walked in just in time to hear Mitchel's comment about “being Raegan's lover." He couldn't help but lower his head and let out a small laugh.

Earlier, while he was instructed to lead Raegan to prepare the soup for Mitchel, Matteo realized the nurse in disguise was actually Raegan.

Mitchel felt even more embarrassed by this. He never expected Matteo to come in just in time to catch his words. Annoyed, he asked, "What did you come in for?"

Matteo quickly replied, "I brought you the soup."

Matteo had noticed the soup Raegan prepared had spilled, so he saved what was left in a thermos, thinking Mitchel was looking forward to taking a sip. He hadn't expected to stumble upon such an amusing chat.

Without saying much, Matteo served a bowl of soup, placing it carefully in front of Mitchel. As he turned around, he caught sight of Raegan's bare feet. He thought he had never seen such beautiful feet before. The toes reminded him of pearls, round, shiny, and adorable. He found himself staring at Raegan's feet a bit too long.

Suddenly, a cough from Mitchel snapped Matteo out of his daze.

Mitchel was giving Matteo a cold look, as if warning him.

Matteo flinched, quickly ducked his head, and decided it was best to leave.

However, after Mitchel picked up the soup and tasted it, he told Matteo, "Finish the rest."
